INTRO: F#
F#
When you wake up in the mornin'
B F# D#min C#
And you wonder why no one's beside you where I usually lay,
F# B
And you think you hear the sound of distant thunder,
F# C# F#
Well, that's just your old rock (just your old rock) a-rollin' away
B
I was a rock standing strong for you.
F#
Oh, there was nothing that I wouldn't do.
D#min C# F#
No matter the cost, I was ready to pay.
B
Now you say I'm only holdin' you down
F# B
Like some old rock you've been draggin' around.
F# C# F#
Yes, I'm your rock (just your old rock), but now I'm rollin' away.
F# B
I'm rollin' away on a downhill grade,
F# C#
But I'm gonna come to rest 'side a mountain of love some day.
F# B
'Cause I finally understand, if you're resting on shifting sands,
F# C# F#
Well, even a rock (even a rock) will go a-rollin' away.
B
I was a rock standing strong for you.
F#
No, there was nothing that I wouldn't do.
D#min C# F#
No matter the cost, I was ready to pay.
B
Now you say I'm only holdin' you down
F# B
Like some old rock you've been draggin' around.
F# C# F# B
Yes, I was your rock (just your old rock), but now I'm rollin' away.
F# C# B F# C# F#
Honey, I was your rock (just your old rock), now I'm rollin' away.
